Custom software & full-stack apps

Custom software built around how your business works

When no ready-made tool fits the way your business works, we build the software that does: web apps and dashboards, mobile apps for Android and iOS, desktop apps, and the backends behind them. First we learn how the business runs today and write the plan down. Then we show you how the software will work, before we build it, so you can raise any issue right there. The build goes in small parts, each one checked before the next starts, and it is designed for growth from the start, so it shouldn't need a rewrite later.

No. 01 — What this removes

Businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and ready-made tools, or need an app that doesn't exist yet.

No. 02 — What we build

Web apps & dashboards

Internal tools, admin panels, customer portals and dashboards, built with Next.js and React, so your team and your customers work in one place.

Mobile apps

Android and iOS apps, built with React Native or Flutter, running on the same backend as your web app.

Desktop apps

Apps for Windows, macOS or Linux, when the work has to run on the computer itself.

The backend behind them

APIs, databases and background jobs, built in Node.js and TypeScript, so every screen works from the same data.

No. 03 — How it is put together

Every app we build has the same four layers. Knowing them makes it easier to tell us what yours needs.

01

Interface

The screens people use: a web, mobile or desktop app, or all three.

02

API

One API that every screen talks to, with checks on who may see and change what.

03

Data

A database shaped around the records your business keeps.

04

Operations

Logs, monitoring and alerts, built in from the start.

Exploded view — the four layers, laid out on the bench.

No. 04 — How we work

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A thirty-minute call about what you want to build or automate. You tell us how things work today; we tell you what it would take.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    A fixed-scope plan: what we will build, what it costs, and when it ships. No open-ended retainers to start.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build, connect, and test it on your real workflows — with you in the loop the whole way.

  4. 04

    Support

    With optional "Monthly care", we monitor it, fix it when a connected tool or API changes, and make small improvements.

No. 05 — Questions

What do you build with?

For the web, Next.js and React; for mobile, React Native or Flutter; on the server, Node.js and TypeScript with Fastify or Express, and Postgres or MongoDB with Redis for data. For desktop apps we choose the framework that fits the platforms you need. If your team already runs another stack, we can work in it. The problem decides the tools.

How do you keep a build on track?

We write the plan first and split it into small parts. Each part is built and checked, and only then does the next one start, so problems show up early. You see the plan, and how the software will work, before any code is written.

Can you take over an app we already have?

Yes. We read the code first, then tell you what we would keep, fix or replace, and why, before we change anything.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code, the repository and the accounts it runs on are in your name, so you can keep building with us or with anyone else.

What does custom software cost?

Custom software gets a fixed price after the free discovery call, with the scope agreed in writing before any work starts. If what you need is one workflow or one AI agent connected to two or three of your tools, our entry offer, "Your first automation", covers it for USD 1,500, delivered in two weeks. For our first five clients the price is USD 750, in return for letting us publish a case study about the project: we can leave your company's name out, and you approve every number in it first. Either way, hosting and any AI and tool running costs are billed to you directly by each provider.

Thirty minutes, no obligation. We map it and tell you what it would take.
